Floating Eggs in Bloody Mary Mix

Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Stir in the tomatoes, bloody Mary mix and season with salt and pepper. Let simmer 5 minutes and then add the basil.

Crack the 4 eggs into the tomato mixture, and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Transfer some of the sauce to 2 or 4 shallow serving bowls, depending on whether you’re serving 1 egg or 2. Add 1 or 2 eggs to each bowl and serve with toasted bread.
